Off to Tanzania!

Hey Friends. I just got to Tanzania a couple days ago and will be here for the summer! That means that the blog is getting an epi shot to the thigh and will hopefully find its way back into business soon. Internet access is very limited, but I will do my best to post as regularly as possible. For the first six weeks I will be in Mwanza, Tanzania, working at a clinic with International Health Partners Tanzania and conducting health education presentations in local schools. Then I will fly across to the island of Zanzibar for two weeks of health education work with the scholars of Students 4 Students International! S4Si is a completely student run non-profit based out of UNC that provides scholarships for girls to attend secondary school in Tanzania. I was lucky to work with S4Si for four years as an undergrad and can't wait to finally meet the scholars!

Breakfast time and off to work!
